There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws.
---------- In response to Tim's tag line and to BXA's claim (twinned by NSA, FBI, CIA and DoJ) of training Janus crypto-narcs to snare dual-use miscreants: http://guru.cosc.georgetown.edu/~denning/cosc511/ Information Warfare: Terrorism, Crime, and National Security Prof. Dorothy E. Denning This course will study the nature of information warfare, including computer crime and information terrorism, in the global information infrastructure as it relates to national security, defense policy, economic security, organizational security, and personal security. Students will gain an understanding of the threats and vulnerabilities, including military and economic espionage, denial of service, destruction and modification of data, distortion and fabrication of information, forgery, control and disruption of information flow, electronic bombs, and psyops and perception management. They will learn about attacks and countermeasures, including authentication, encryption, auditing, monitoring, and firewalls, and the limitations of those countermeasures. They will learn about cyberspace law enforcement and investigations, information warfare and the military, and intelligence in the information age. Information technology policy and ethics will be examined. ----- This is not to single out the duality of Professor Denning/Mr. Denning. There are several similar dual-use courses being taught at civ-mi schools as market-wise institutions-governments scramble for funds-taxes by promising results to job-needy scientists-engineers and students-citizens. Heed the dual-use market/cartel, be an infoartist/informer, an inside-lawyer/outlaw; practice selfless public archy, greedy secret anarchy. That's the ticket for wise guys-gals, go either way as the bi-wind blows and stills.
